PNG Ports has stepped in to help in the fight against COVID 19 in Eastern Highlands Province by donating to the Goroka Provincial Hospital life-saving equipment to assist health workers.
Managing Director of PNG Ports Fego Kiniafa last week presented to the hospital two oxygen concentrators, 150 oxygen nasal cannulas, 10,000 facemasks, and eight pulse oxymeters.
Mr Kiniafa said the situation at the hospital and province was indeed critical and so people must take care of themselves by making the right choices during the fight against COVID19.
“It is a fight against an invisible enemy, a very difficult situation, one that is even testing our faith,” Mr Kiniafa said.
“We at PNG Ports, sincerely hope that this assistance contributes to the fight against humanity’s common enemy.”
“Our prayers are for the safety of those hard working and exhausted angels at the hospital,” Mr Kiniafa added.
On hand to receive the donation were Provincial Health Authority CEO Dr Joseph Apa and Director Curative Services Dr Kapiro Kendaura.
They both thanked Mr Kiniafa and PNG Ports for the timely donation which would go a long way in helping their staff save lives from the COVID19 pandemic.
